Lee, Bongshin, Smith, Greg, Robertson, George G., Czerwinski, Mary and Tan, Desney S. (2009): FacetLens: exposing trends and relationships to support sensemaking within faceted datasets. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2009 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2009. pp. 1293-1302. Available online

“Previous research has shown that faceted browsing is effective and enjoyable in searching and browsing large collections of data. In this work, we explore the efficacy of interactive visualization systems in supporting exploration and sensemaking within faceted datasets. To do this, we developed an interactive visualization system called FacetLens, which exposes trends and relationships within faceted datasets. FacetLens implements linear facets to enable users not only to identify trends but also to easily compare several trends simultaneously. Furthermore, it offers pivot operations to allow users to navigate the faceted dataset using relationships between items. We evaluate the utility of the system through a description of insights gained while experts used the system to explore the CHI publication repository as well as a database of funding grant data, and report a formative user study that identified usability issues.”

Oliver, Nuria, Czerwinski, Mary, Smith, Greg and Roomp, Kristof (2008): RelAltTab: assisting users in switching windows. In: Proceedings of the 2008 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces 2008. pp. 385-388. Available online

“We present RelAltTab, an enhanced ALT+TAB prototype that assists users in switching windows. Our approach uses semantic and temporal information to create a list of related windows to the window that the user is currently engaged in. The main assumption is that the user is more likely to switch to a related window than to any other window in the system. We propose two different user interfaces that present the related window list to the user. We describe in detail the techniques and user interfaces of the RelAltTab system, and present the results of one user study comparing our approach to the standard Windows ALT+TAB program.”

Biehl, Jacob T., Czerwinski, Mary, Smith, Greg and Robertson, George G. (2007): FASTDash: a visual dashboard for fostering awareness in software teams. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2007 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2007. pp. 1313-1322. Available online

“Software developers spend significant time gaining and maintaining awareness of fellow developers' activities. FASTDash is a new interactive visualization that seeks to improve team activity awareness using a spatial representation of the shared code base that highlights team members' current activities. With FASTDash, a developer can quickly determine which team members have source files checked out, which files are being viewed, and what methods and classes are currently being changed. The visualization can be annotated, allowing programmers to supplement activity information with additional status details. It provides immediate awareness of potential conflict situations, such as two programmers editing the same source file. FASTDash was developed through user-centered design, including surveys, team interviews, and in situ observation. Results from a field study show that FASTDash improved team awareness, reduced reliance on shared artifacts, and increased project-related communication. Additionally, the team that participated in our field study continues to use FASTDash.”

Oliver, Nuria, Smith, Greg, Thakkar, Chintan and Surendran, Arun C. (2006): SWISH: semantic analysis of window titles and switching history. In: Proceedings of the 2006 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces 2006. pp. 194-201. Available online

“Information workers are often involved in multiple tasks and activities that they must perform in parallel or in rapid succession. In consequence, task management itself becomes yet another task that information workers need to perform in order to get the rest of their work done. Recognition of this problem has led to research on task management systems, which can help by allowing fast task switching, fast task resumption, and automatic task identification. In this paper we focus on the latter: we tackle the problem of automatically detecting the tasks that the user is involved in, by identifying which of the windows on the user's desktop are related to each other. The underlying assumption is that windows that belong to the same task share some common properties with one another that we can detect from data. We will refer to this problem as the task assignment problem. To address this problem, we have built a prototype named Swish that: (1) constantly monitors users' desktop activities using a stream of windows events; (2) logs and processes this raw event stream, and (3) implements two criteria of window "relatedness", namely the semantic similarity of their titles, and the temporal closeness in their access patterns. In addition to describing the Swish prototype in detail, we validate it with”
